In a tight-spot after storm whipped up by the newly born Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) on the shear strength of Gen Z raking up NEET and other examination paper leaks, and related fallacies in the education system affecting the youth; although the issue was already being raised by Congress leader Mr Rahul Gandhi but got a fillip after the Gen Z movement. The Narendra Modi government and the ruling BJP-led alliance (though some of the ruling allies have exhibited their unease over the issue), has endeavoured to see red in the expression regime change. It seems to be an attempt to corner the opposition I.N.D.I.A bloc and the CJP, they have only talked about peaceful protest as means of change, through the narrative of regime change and portray them as working against the national interest. The ruling dispensation of the current era (read BJP) have perfected the art of setting narratives and counter-narratives as diversionary tactics and as means to corner the political opponents. In the process, not minding even if the process becomes vicious. This process in itself seems to have reached a saturation stage and with entire gamut of SIR-related operation of the ECI getting public traction, they need to relook into this strategy with a positive frame of mind. Yes, Mr Gandhi, other leaders of the opposition alliance, CJP/other youth leaders and social activist/lawyer Mr Prashant Bhushan, have been facing a major political backlash from the BJP and indirectly from the government over remarks regarding regime change. The ire is directed more against them for targeting the Narendra Modi government under the garb of happenings in the ECI. Why has the word regime and phrase regime change suddenly become a hot potato for BJP to handle? Or does this reflect signs of insecurity for the most powerful government/ruling party in the world? What is the dictionary meaning of the word regime? It is just for the sake of clarity on something which is nothing new to be used in political parlance of the country and which found a greater expression in the then opposition leaders, including towering one of the then Bharatiya Jan Sangh (BJS) and now BJP, scathing attacks against Prime Minister Mrs Indira Gandhi particularly on imposition of internal emergency in 1975. The powerful opposition brigade using the term Indira regime (reference to the authoritarian nature of her administration) and the far-cry to oust it was led by Congress (O) leader and later Prime Minister Mr Morarji Desai. It included top BJS leader Mr Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Mr L K Advani, apart from Mr Jayaprakash Narayan who spearheaded campaign against Mrs Gandhi, another former Prime Minister Ch Charan Singh and socialist leader Mr Geroge Fernandes. And many others and including the maverick Mr Raj Narain who defeated Mrs Gandhi in Rai Barelli. According to AI a regime is a system or method of governing a country, organization, or institution, or the specific group of people currently holding power. The Cambridge dictionary terms it as a particular government or system or method of government. The Wikipedia defines it; in the context of national politics, it typically refers to the system of political organization that determines access to public office, and the extent of power held by officials. Does in any way, under the shadow of these definitions and given the history of Indira Gandhi-era, expression regime change reflect hatching of a conspiracy? It does not seem so. And on top of that a strong dispensation such as Narendra Modi government need not fear what at best could be the political usage of the expression. They have the wherewithal to expose conspiracy, if any. Political scientists often categorize regimes as being democratic, autocratic, or hybrid in the academic sense of the term. However, in everyday language, a regime is an authoritarian or unjust government. There is nothing unparliamentary or unconstitutional in these expressions which were very rightly used, at times even crossing limits of niceties, during the 1975-77 phase by the then opposition leaders and their young cadres. In the present context the regime change mention has come in the light of alleged charges of manipulating electoral rolls with a motive to help the ruling party. Obviously, the reference has been made in order to build public opinion and convince the people that their votes could be safeguarded only through a regime change. The underlining factor is voter-lists without wholesale deletions and alleged arbitrary inclusions, and which are above any doubt. The BJP strategists seem to have lapped up the regime change opportunity with both the hands. The party president, Mr Nitin Nabin led the charge through a post on X which read; The use of terms like regime change has exposed the true agenda of the opposition.. This nefarious attempt to destabilise India in collusion with foreign powers is part of the agenda of urban naxals. The oppositions fight is not for electoral reforms, SIR, or the future of the countrys youth but rather to spread anarchy in the country and seize power at any cost. Mr Nabin must decipher from the archives, as he was born in the year when the party which he heads now was born in 1980, as to how often phrase regime change was used by his senior leaders and how often Mrs Gandhi and her coterie described the oppositions movement as aided and abetted by foreign powers. Colourful theories were touted by the then opposition leaders as to how erstwhile USSR was helping Mrs Gandhi win elections through the use of a mysterious ink-pad and ballot paper; wherever you stamp it will appear on Congress symbol, was the oft repeated charge. Fact of the matter is that despite all such charges flying thick and high and the mysterious foreign hand at play, Mrs Gandhi lost the election in 1977, even losing her own seat. Majority of the opposition leaders including Mr Vajpayee and Mr Advani won the election to become Union Ministers for the first time. The regime change had taken place through an impartial, free and fair election for which credit must go to Mrs Gandhi, notwithstanding excesses committed during the imposition of internal emergency. The regime change did not connote any conspiracy at that point in time and the expression is finding place during the present movement against SIR and other failures of the government, in the same spirit. As a counter to BJP presidents assertion invoking urban naxal and foreign powers syndrome behind oppositions regime change metaphor, opposition is firm on its stand and so are the CJP activists. Mr Gandhi and other opposition alliance leaders maintain that their protests and criticisms are rooted in constitutional rights, democratic resistance, and fighting alleged capture of state institutions. And that there is nothing unconstitutional, illegal or anti-national in talking of a regime change using peaceful means through the expression of ballot.

NIA files charge sheet against two accused in fake currency smuggling case in Bihar
Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 30 (IANS) The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday filed a charge sheet against two accused persons in connection with the seizure of fake Indian currency notes (FICN) worth Rs 50,150 in Madhubani district of Bihar. The charge sheet has been filed against Bharat Mahaseth and Shiv Kumar Raut alias Mehman under Sections 61(2), 179, 180 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023. The case relates to the seizure of 281 counterfeit currency notes with a total face value of Rs 50,150 from Duhabi Bazar in the Basopatti area of Madhubani on August 2. The seizure was made during a joint operation by the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), Bihar Special Task Force (STF) and Bihar Police. According to the NIA investigation, the two charge-sheeted accused were involved in smuggling fake currency from Nepal into India through Hira Mahaseth alias Chachi. The counterfeit notes were allegedly intended to be circulated as genuine currency in local Indian markets. The case was initially registered at Basopatti police station on August 2, 2026, under a case against the three accused Hira Mahaseth, Bharat Mahaseth and Shiv Kumar Raut. Considering the gravity of the offence, the Ministry of Home Affairs directed the NIA to take over the investigation. The NIA subsequently re-registered the case on September 9. As part of the investigation, the NIA conducted searches at 12 locations in Madhubani district on October 8. During the searches, investigators seized digital devices, incriminating documents, cash and other materials. Based on the seized items, the NIA prepared a charge sheet against them and filed it before the special NIA court. The agency is making efforts to find out other members of the gang. Madhubani district has a long border connected with Nepal, and smugglers uses it smuggle fake currency notes, liquors, contrabands and other banned substances. Further investigation into the case is underway.

Gujarat doctor duped of Rs 1.50 crore over 8 years; retired professor among three held from UP
Digital Desk | Surat, Oct 30 (IANS) Three persons, including a 64-year-old retired professor, have been arrested for allegedly cheating a senior citizen doctor of around Rs 1.50 crore over eight years by promising refunds on insurance policies, with the police tracing the accused to Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh using a single mobile number that had since been switched off. The Surat City Cyber Crime Cell said on Friday that the accused had posed as representatives of the Insurance Ombudsman and persuaded the complainant to purchase around 15 insurance policies in 2018. After gaining his trust, they allegedly contacted him over the last two to three years, claiming that the money invested in his policies could be refunded if he paid various charges. The complainant was allegedly made to transfer money in small instalments of Rs 10,000, Rs 15,000, Rs 25,000 and other amounts. Over the period from 2018 to 2026, he lost approximately Rs 1,50,33,004 (Rs 1.50 crore), police said. The complainant approached the cybercrime police around two to three months ago. Investigators examined the mobile numbers from which he had received calls and WhatsApp messages and conducted technical analysis of their call detail records. A team subsequently spent a week in Ghaziabad tracing the accused on the basis of a single calling number, which had become inactive. The arrested accused have been identified as Atulkumar Sharma (64), a retired professor who holds BSc and MBA degrees and had worked at IMT College; Mahesh Sharma (43), who has worked in vehicle loan arrangements, electricity meter reading and as a salesman for an Ayurvedic medicine company; and Sonu Thakur (32), a Class 12 pass-out who had previously worked as a telecaller at a call centre. According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Cyber Cell) Bishakha Jain, Atulkumar allegedly arranged SIM cards and bank accounts by approaching financially needy people on the pretext of helping them obtain gas connections. He got accounts opened in their names and retained the SIM cards, net banking credentials, passwords and bank kits before passing the SIM cards to Mahesh Sharma, she said. Mahesh allegedly forwarded the SIM cards and bank account details to Sonu Thakur, who used different mobile handsets to contact insurance policyholders and demand money on the pretext of processing refunds. Jain said, Sonu had worked in the call centre operations of insurance companies since 2018 and was familiar with the process of obtaining policyholder data. During searches, police recovered around 70 pages of printed Excel sheets containing insurance policyholders' details. The sheets had markings indicating which people had already been contacted and which were yet to be approached. The accused used these sheets to identify and call different victims. They would tell them that if they wanted their insurance policy money back, they would have to deposit a certain amount towards charges, Jain added. The money deposited by victims was withdrawn through the bank accounts arranged by Atulkumar. He allegedly retained 35 to 50 per cent of the withdrawn amount as commission and passed the rest to Mahesh, who kept another 15 to 20 per cent before transferring the remaining amount to Sonu. Police recovered nine mobile phones, 42 cheque books, 17 passbooks, 90 debit cards, 25 SIM cards of different companies, around 80 empty SIM card trays and Rs 28,740 in cash from Atulkumar. Two mobile phones were seized from Mahesh. From Sonu, police recovered three mobile phones, Rs 1.77 lakh in cash and 70 printouts containing policyholder details. Investigators also identified 47 bank accounts linked to Atulkumar on the basis of the cheque books and passbooks recovered from his residence. A check of these accounts on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCCRP) revealed 73 complaints registered across 15 states, involving alleged online fraud of approximately Rs 33.10 lakh. Telangana accounted for the highest number of complaints at 15, followed by Tamil Nadu with 14, Maharashtra with seven, Karnataka and Goa with six each, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan with five each, and Bihar with four. Gujarat accounted for three complaints, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh two each, while Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana and Tripura had one complaint each. The complaints could involve other cyber fraud groups as well, as such gangs were suspected of sharing policyholder data, DCP Bishakha Jain said. She said insurance policy frauds of this nature were frequently reported from Delhi, Noida and Ghaziabad, where different groups allegedly exchanged data to target policyholders. The case has been registered under Sections 319(2), 318(4), 336(2), 338, 336(3), 340(2), 61(2) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and Section 66(D) of the Information Technology Act, 2008. The police have advised insurance policyholders not to respond to unsolicited calls promising bonuses or refunds on policies and to verify such claims directly with the insurance company.
24th instalment of PM-KISAN scheme leaves farmers excited, express gratitude
Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Oct 30 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the 24th instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme on Friday, transferring more than Rs 18,680 crore directly into the bank accounts of more than 9.34 crore farmer families across the country from Bhildi in Gujarat's Banaskantha district. More than 9 crore farmers became the direct beneficiaries of the scheme, receiving monetary support of Rs 2,000 into their accounts, out of which 52.33 lakh farmer families received assistance exceeding Rs 1,051 crore in Gujarat alone. Gujarat Agriculture Minister Jitu Vaghani announced these figures while briefing the media, adding that the first 23 instalments of the scheme had resulted in the disbursement of more than Rs 4.47 lakh crore to over 11 crore farmer families across the country. After receiving the 24th instalment of the PM-KISAN in their accounts, farmers expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister and stated that this will strengthen their means of livelihood, besides enhancing their ability to experiment with advanced farming practices. Farmers in Ranchi, Jamnagar, Motihari, Jalna, Bhubaneswar, and Patna received the financial aid under the 24th instalment of the PM-KISAN scheme. The farming community, which benefited from the 24th instalment of the PM-KISAN scheme, thanked the government. In Bihars Motihari and East Champaran district, the farmers said that the 2,000 assistance would enable them to purchase seeds for both Rabi and Kharif crops. Another farmer remarked that this would be beneficial for their agricultural activities. Notably, East Champaran became one of the leading districts, where farmers received about 86 crore in financial aid, a sum larger than that received by any other single district. A farmer said that the PM-KISAN assistance provides substantial support to farmers during both the Rabi and Kharif cropping seasons. Patna farmers echoed similar sentiments, stating that the money received under the scheme remains extremely useful in purchasing fertilisers and seeds. A beneficiary thanked the government for removing the middlemen and directly transferring the benefits into their accounts. There is absolutely no role of intermediaries; all farmers get the requisite help for fertilisers and seeds directly from the government. The scheme, in operation since 2019, has proven highly beneficial to the farming community, said another farmer. Ramnath Thakur, Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare, joining the event virtually from Ranchi (Jharkhand), said that the funds provide essential support for farmers, helping them tide over crises. A similar event was organised at the Patel Samaj Bhavan in Jamnagar, Gujarat, with a large number of farmers in attendance. Heaping praise on the scheme, they counted the benefits of the scheme and explained how this reduced their dependence on others to procure fertilisers and seeds. One farmer, practising natural farming for the past 15 years, noted that he also got several benefits from his organic farming and was now encouraging others to adopt it. In Bhubaneswar, Odisha, farmers said that this helped them in times of exigency, helping them mitigate financial crunch during sowing of seeds and tilling of land. In Maharashtras Jalna, farmers said that this was proving to be of great help to them as they often use this money to buy seeds and fertilisers.

Tejashwi Yadav says court is doing its duty, as Anant Singh faces bail cancellation in murder case
Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 30 (IANS) Mokama MLA Anant Singhs legal troubles have triggered fresh political exchanges, with Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav taking a swipe at him following the Supreme Courts cancellation of his bail in the Dularchand Yadav murder case. Reacting to the Supreme Courts direction asking Anant Singh to surrender by December 1, Tejashwi said the court was simply performing its duty. He recalled that Anant Singh and his wife, Neelam Devi, had earlier alleged that the government was conspiring to frame him. However, after Anant Singh switched sides and supported the NDA, his perception of the government appeared to have changed. Earlier, he and his wife used to say that the government was framing him. But after he betrayed our party and switched sides, the government suddenly became good for him, Tejashwi remarked. Reacting to the JD(U), Tejashwi said he had repeatedly predicted that the JD(U) would cease to exist after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and the subsequent Bihar Assembly polls. On the INDIA Blocs proposed rally at Ramlila Maidan on November 1, Tejashwi, who was heading to Delhi, appealed to people who wanted to protect democracy and uphold the Constitution, to participate in the event. The political differences between the RJD and Anant Singhs family date back to the Bihar Assembly floor test on February 12, 2024. Neelam Devi, then the RJD MLA from Mokama, broke ranks with her party and voted in support of Nitish Kumars NDA government. She had won the 2022 Mokama bye-election on an RJD ticket. Two other RJD MLAs, Chetan Anand and Prahlad Yadav, also went against the party line during the Trust Vote. Meanwhile, Anant Singh said he would comply with the Supreme Courts order and surrender by December 1. He expressed faith in the judiciary and hoped to secure bail again. He also repeated his allegations against JD(U) MLC, Neeraj Kumar, accusing him of orchestrating the murder of Dularchand Yadav and conspiring to implicate him in the case. Referring to former Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Anant Singh said, If Nitish Kumar were capable, none of this would be happening to me today. The Supreme Court cancelled the bail granted to Anant Singh by the Patna High Court, observing that the High Court had not adequately considered the nature of the crime and his criminal history. It directed him to surrender before the concerned authorities by December 1, 2026.
